3 Phases of Breathing For Cold Exposure

1. Before the Plunge

Prior to your immersion into the cold water, indulge in a few moments of deep and controlled nasal breathing, closing your eyes and relaxing into a calm and centered place. Let your breath synchronize with the looming chill, priming your body and mind for the plunge with grace and composure.

2. During the Plunge

Enter the cold with quiet calm, and once submerged in the icy waters, keep your focus centered on controlled nasal breathing. Imagine each inhale and exhale as a graceful stroke through the current, using your breath to maintain your composure and minimize the shock to your system.

3. Post-Plunge Rejuvenation

Exit the cold slowly and deliberately, and once on dry land, continue your breathwork journey. Take your time and allow your body to warm naturally, using deep nasal breaths and slow fluid body movements to kindle your inner warmth, hastening recovery, and amplifying the transformative benefits of your cold plunge.

Breathwork: The Elixir for stress & anxiety

Breathwork encompasses a diverse array of techniques that harness the power of conscious controlled breathing to enhance both physical and mental well-being. By intentionally altering your breath patterns, you can influence your nervous system, manage stress, reduce anxiety, and foster a profound inner calm.

The Symbiosis of Breathwork and Cold Plunging

Controlled Respiration

When first plunging, many
novices manifest their breathing with an open mouth and a heavy and rapid pace. Instead, relax and allow your breath to flow, adjusting your breath as you enter the cold to a slower, more rhythmic flow in and out through the nose. To relax even further, you can extend your exhales, using humming to increase nitric oxide, relax the nervous system, and burn more brown fat.

Remote Control to Your Nervous System

Conscious strategic breathing
becomes your remote control in the cold, allowing you to manage your nervous system in high-stress environments like the cold. By consciously regulating your breath, you empower yourself to dial down stress responses, promoting calm and cultivating resilience in challenging situations.

Manage Stress & Optimize Resilience

Hormesis, also known as 'eustress,' is a fundamental biological concept involving voluntary stress, regularly
applied in titrated measurable doses with recovery, to build resilience of mind, body and spirit. Hormesis indicates that mild stressors or challenges can
actually stimulate the body's adaptive responses, leading to increased overall well-being.
